Large Fields and Long Rows.

Mr.. Bonham, secretary of the Ohio
state board of agriculture. is a practical
farmer and stock breeder, pork making
being one of his specialties. To make
pork protahly Mr.. B0uham grows LARGE
quantities of corn TO be fed with other
food. His corn field, contain twenty-five
acres each and are 10 rods long and
about oue-third that width The corn is
planted in check rows so il can be Guilt
waited both ways. TO illustrate the diff
ference in cost of CultiVating large and
small fields Mr.. +. i. Terry, who recently
visited Mr. BOnham, tells in The Country
Gentleman that one OF these twenty-five
acre fields can be cultivated the long way
in three days, while the cross cultivation
the short way takes four and Il half days.
The New England Farmer, commenting
on the above. says an 1885 the cost of
the corn in Tie crib, exclusive of land rent
was 500 per acre, OF nine cents per
bushcl Including the rent of land the
cost would be about Sl3 per acre. And
this is the same whether the crop be
large or small. If 100 bushels are pro-
duced per acre the cost per bushel would
consequently be only thirteen cents, while
a crop of fifty bushels would cost twenty
six cents per bushel. The average yield
through the country being only twenty
six bushels the cost must be about fifty
cents per bushel Large fields and long
rows will do much to reduce the cost of
this crop"

turned here yesterday from the Santa Rita
Mountains. He reports Il terrible water
spout on Wallis ranch, near there, Monday
afternoon. He and his partner heard a ter
rife roar, resembling the sound of an earth
quake, They ran to bluff overlooking the
Cienaga valley and saw monster water
spout coursing down the valley The valley,
which is fully half mile wide was covered
with water to depth of fifteen feet. As the
torrent swept through the valley it carried
everything before it, including a large num-
Der of cattle. Some of them were thrown
upon eleyat ii places, but hundreds of them
were drowned. The. water must have trav-
eled distance of tfty miles. 1t overlooked

On the SNOWFALL, where the leaves roll
up and protect the lice, it is found that
an application of this mixture, in the pro
portion of one to eight, used just before
the plant lice eggs hatch, is astoni>hingly
efficient. This early treatment is abso-
lutely necessary in such cases MS the SNOW
ball, and is to be recommended on the
score of economy in case of nursery stock
and fruit trees. At an early stage it is
less difficult to make thorough application
than after the tree or plant is in full
foliage.
The liquid must be applied with energy;
gentle sprinklng is not sufficient; it

not be necessary to use pegs or stakes to
hold the layer in place; but with larger
plants they are usually needed for keep
ing the layercd branch steady and in one
position while the new roots are being
emitted.
The proper time for making layers is as
variable as is that for making cuttings.
But, as rule, layers should be made
while the parent plant is growing most
rapidly, because roots will be produced mt
such times more readily than at any other,
although with several kinds it will make
very little difference, rs they produce roots
freely under almost all conditions and
from all parts of the plant. With the
larger proportion of both doriGuoue and
evergreen trees and shrubs. i"ytring

earlier, many of the dcciduous t"als and
shrubs will "bleed, " as it is t2rla..l. from
the wounds made on the 1--we 81 parts,
and the sap flowing from tlc~c wounds
will often corrode and otherwise iniurc the
exposed cells and entirely prevent The pro-
duction of roots thcrcl"J.h. Wounds
made in the branches of conlcrOus trees
during the winter and early spring months
are usually soon covered by the cXuding
resin, the severed and otherwise exposed
cells thereby becoming fully protected not
only against the influence of moisture
from without, but it Cffcctually prevents
the formation of n callus and production
OF roots. For this reason, such conifers as
pines, spruce, and iiss should always be
layered at Il time when the sap is thinncst
and flowing most rapidly, as during the
first growth of spring and early summer.
With some kinds of hardy dcciduous trees
and shrubs the autumn is the better sea-
son in which to make layers

Various methods are employed to pro-
duce this result, such as ringing, girding,
twisting, tonguing or partly dividing that
portion of the stem or branch on which it
is desired the roots shall be formed. All
these distortions of the stems or branches
of the plant layered are for one object
that is to check the downward flow of
sap. Roots then become necessary for
supplying sustenance to the cutting, or
layer, and are consequently formed. The
most common method of preparing layers
is that of making tongue on the under
side of the branch. The operation is per-
formed thus: Make an incision in the
branch or part of the plant to be layered,
just below bud, cutting through the
bark and into the branch TO the depth of
one-quarter to one-half its diameter; then
pass the knife upward for an inch or
more, according to the size and nature of
the ll'nt being layered, splitting the
branch lengthwise, forming the tongue as
shown in figure |, at a. The branch Is
then bent down and fastened in its place
by means of n hooked peg, c. and the end
tied up to stake, b, as shown in figure /.
That part on which the incisiOn is made is
covered with soil or other material that
will exclude il from light and air, while
at the same time keeping it moist, thus
4 aiding the development of roots. In max

baceous plants and slender vines it viii

Dehorning Cattle.

AS to dehorning cattle many opinions
are given. Some few breeders think the
practice will injure the prepotency of
dairy bulls, Others think dairy cows are
so mild and gentle that they will do no
injury with their horns. Others cannot
bring themselves 10 think that hornless
Jersey will look like Jersey. The ma
Jority of breeders seem to agree that the
horn is nothing but Il weapon, of no use
to an animal placed out of the reach of
fighting, as all dairy cows should be.
They would be ready to dehorn their cat
tie if it could he SO arranged that all
breeders would do it. The best time to
destroy the horn, says Rural New Yorker,
is while the animal is a calf The opera
ton is then no more painful than that of
castration. Five years ago breeders would
not think Of such n thing as saving the
horns off their cows; now they are quite
ready to admit that the horns are useless
and could be readily and easily disposed
of, The question is, where will the horns
be in five years more at this rate of pro-
erosion?

FARM AND GARDEN.
HOW AND WHEN TO PROPAGATE
PLANTS BY LAYERS.

The Importance of Long Rows In Field
Culture-Au About Plant Lice, with
Directions for Their determination by
the EntomoIogist, Professor Cook.
Perhaps no family of insects is more
widely distributed or more generally de-
structive and better known than plant
lice. These pests do not content them
selves with any single part of a plant.
Some work on the roots and sap the vital
ity of the herb or tree; others draw their
nourishment from the stems and twiGs
and thus blight the plants; still others
suck the vitality from bud and foliage. A
few work on both roots and leaves. Most
cultivated vegetables, grains and trees
have their characteristic plant louise enc
mics.
The first cut represents winged and
wingless lice of natural size, also mag
nified.
Plant lice on outside vegetation pass
the winter as little, dark, oblong eggs,
usually fastened to the buds. With the
warm days of spring these eggs hatch,
and so rapidly do the lice increase that
soon they are counted by millions. AnOth
er characteristic feature of plant lice is
their sudden disappearance. This well
come radiance is due, Professor y. J.
Cook, cntomologist of the Michigan Agri-
cultural college states, to insect enemies
of the plant lice

WINGED AND w1NGLEss LICE.

The syphus fly, represented in the sec
ond cut, also the little magGOt near it,
revel amidst the plant lice. This maggot
especially seems never satiated, but is
constantly banqueting on the lice. The
lady bird beetles, especially the larvae or
grubs (see same cut, also do signal service
in the same direction. Many people
through ignorance destroy these useful
insects. There are several species of the
ichneumon family of the genus aphidius,
very minute parasites, which also destroy
these lice in great numbers.
A remedy suggested by Professor Cook,
in q recent bulletin issued, is kerosene and
soap mixture. To make this he uses one
fourth pound of hard soap. preferably
whale oil soap, and one quart of water.
This is heated Uatil the soap is dissolved,
w'on one pint o. kerosene oil is added
